" Every time I visit El Tarasco, I feel like I'm transported back to my grandmother's kitchen. That's how authentic the food feels and tastes! Their enchiladas are prepared with so much care, and their homemade salsa is the cherry on top. The atmosphere has a cozy, yet lively vibe that’s perfect for family gatherings or casual dinners. Service tends to be friendly, though they can get a bit overwhelmed during busy hours. Nevertheless, I'd give it a glowing recommendation to anyone looking for true Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. We arrived just after opening, and the staff seemed unprepared. The food took longer than expected and didn't meet our expectations. I tried their famed chile relleno—very bland. The staff appeared overwhelmed and uninterested. I was hoping for a better dining experience based on earlier reviews. I'll be looking for other options. It’s a shame, as I had high hopes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been raised in Mexico, I can be incredibly picky about what I consider authentic food. El Tarasco exceeded my expectations! The flavors were spot on and took me back to my childhood. I indulged in the chilaquiles, and they were divine! The atmosphere is festive, and though the wait times were slightly longer, the quality of the food made it worthwhile. I appreciate that they use fresh ingredients, making every bite a treat. Highly recommend for anyone in search of true Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tarasco was a delightful surprise! The moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly faces and a lively atmosphere. We tried several dishes, including the carne asada and tacos al pastor. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I loved the fresh ingredients used. The margaritas were refreshing too! The pricing was reasonable for the quality of food we received. I can’t wait to return for another feast, and I highly recommend it for any Mexican food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine, El Tarasco is the place to be. Their enchiladas were scrumptious and full of flavor, surpassed only by their homemade guacamole. While the ambiance was lively, I found the service to be a bit on the slower side during peak times. Despite this, I can't wait to come back and try more items on their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tarasco is hands down one of the best spots for Mexican food I’ve encountered. The carne asada tacos were incredible! The meat was tender and the flavors were authentic. Plus, seeing them make their tortillas right in front of you is a treat! The bar also had a good selection of margaritas, which we really enjoyed. The service was generally friendly, but we had to wait a bit for our drinks. Overall, a great experience, and I look forward to returning to try more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing restaurant with a warm atmosphere and delicious food! I had the chance to try their Cilantro Lime Chicken, and it was bursting with flavor. The accompanying rice and beans were cooked perfectly and complemented the dish well. Plus, the homemade tortillas added a nice touch. The only downside was the wait time, which was longer than expected, but the food was well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
